Chapter 370: Turn
Compared to the front line in full swing,
My brigade of men and horses, following the traces of most of the other Northern Army, was still marching slowly on the empty fields of Henan.
So far, only a few entrenched local regiments and powerful forces have been broken, and some remnants of the wandering Northern Army have been annihilated.
In the sparse autumn colors, there is a monotonous and lonely gray-yellow tone everywhere, the original granary of the Central Plains, a densely populated place since ancient times, only the white bones are exposed in the wild, and the rooster cries for thousands of miles are left in a desolate and lonely place.
The undisguised cold wind whirred, across the barren and grassy fields, mixed with gloomy lead-colored clouds, there was a burst of fine rain that shook on the soldiers' hats and armor from time to time, making people who were exposed to the skin outside, and couldn't help but shiver and tighten, but they were asked to evaporate with the cold.
I rode on the back of a snorting grizzly panda, and I couldn't help but sneeze and wrap myself tightly around the fine velvet on my body.
The weather has gradually cooled down, and the morning dew is becoming more and more obvious, transforming into frost flowers. The so-called Hutian August is snowfall, and now it is the end of September in the Central Plains, and the pace and signs of winter are getting closer and closer.
The good news is that the last batch of winter coats, bedding and blankets I ordered have finally arrived in time. As with most classical times, any large-scale military operation is accompanied by some kind of confusion in the distribution of transportation and imbalance in channels, and the longer the logistics line is stretched, the more obvious it becomes.
After all, this is not a computer game, as long as the number of resources is dragged and dragged a few times, all the collection, transportation, storage to the front line distribution from the rear can be automatically completed, and a series of simplified processes to supplement specific troops.
Although I have considerable independent transportation capacity and resources, it is impossible to conjure up the corresponding logistics out of thin air, and it is inevitable that the allocation of specific routes, transportation capacity, and channels will be restricted and affected by the commander.
That's why it's only now, and it's still thanks to my new victory.
The bad news, however, is that my forces have expanded further, so they are outnumbered.
I now have seven military numbers under my name, but in fact, except for the rear of the new army and the horse army on the right flank of the new army, the others are all false or severely damaged, and can only temporarily stay in the rear with newly replenished soldiers and use them to maintain the garrison along the line.
And Liu Yanqing's rear striker has just retreated from Caozhou to Yunzhou, and I can't reach it for the time being; On the other hand, the right flank of the new army is a self-contained horse army, which has been ordered to move forward to seek the enemy, and the so-called relative independence must also be guaranteed by strength.
Although the number of troops has been reduced from more than 26,000 after the war to more than 14,000, at least the composition of the team is relatively simple and refined, and there is no need for extra energy to take care of those friendly troops who do not seem to be very reliable.
Fortunately, after defeating the Ping navy, he obtained a large number of felts, velvet blankets and thick wool cloaks in his camp, as well as a large number of half-finished skins, which seemed to be prepared for the protracted war of winter.
Otherwise, my army, which is dominated by southerners, will greatly weaken its combat effectiveness and action. To this end, I also used my right of priority to get a large amount of grease, firewood, charcoal, and other fuels from Shuaiji.
To be honest, after personally participating in the inventory and receiving, compared with the optimism shrouded in the upper and lower areas, the material reserves and management in the Xuzhou area feel a little chaotic and a little worrying.
Mainly because of the fear that after the winter, the sea surface will freeze, the wind direction will be reversed, and the sea transportation capacity will be sharply reduced.
But as the saying goes, the most error-prone thing in the hectic chaos, coupled with some human factors in the rear, many things that the front line does not need at all, and therefore in a certain process and the negligence accumulated by the point-by-point transfer, it occupies valuable capacity and is sent over.
For example, the anti-frostbite anoint oil has been turned into a medicated oil to prevent insect bites, and several large boats of soap and soap have been sent for bathing.
Piled up in the warehouse, there are even pontoons for water, or something, and so on, so that people can't laugh or cry, do you let the soldiers go swimming on the ice in winter? , or encourage a fun game of soap picking in the military.
I thought of it with some maliciously amusement.
The winter clothes and bedding that are urgently needed at the front seem to be underprepared, and the warehouses are actually piled up with single clothes and pullovers, blankets and tents worn in the relatively warm southern regions.
There are even examples of named military spirits, which have magically become weak liquors sold by the people, and it seems that the water behind the scenes is relatively deep, and people dare not pursue them.
In the ups and downs of this kind of thoughts that are not very coordinated, someone in front finally reported that the boundary belonging to Yunzhou has arrived.
Only half a day later, I also saw the people and flags that came to greet me in the mirror.
In this way, with the convergence of the two main battle battalions with intact strength, plus the auxiliary brigade and stragglers left behind, as well as Liu Yanqing's rear striker, my certainty and success are a little greater.
It's just that when my vanguard and the new troops converged, I suddenly found that there was obviously a gap between the facts and expectations, because the flags of the men and horses on the opposite side were full of traces of smoke and fire, and the men and horses also looked a little messy and hasty.
Then I also saw Cui Bangbi and Yang Zaixing, who were full of shame, and Liu Yanqing, who was wrapped like a dumpling, but I didn't see Xin Jiaxuan, who was in charge of the left-behind affairs, and I couldn't help but have some bad premonitions.
"Subordinates have a negative ......"
Before I could ask, Yang Zaixing, who was wrapped around his arm, spoke first
"I failed to defend Yuncheng, and I also lost Juye's grain platform."
Jiang Ning is here, and some kind of aftermath continues to ripple.
"Invincible? , when did such a crew come out of my command......"
The prison country, who was dealing with the criticism, suddenly said with a strange expression.
"Why is there no news here on weekdays......
Then he said the next sentence and made everyone present kneel down.
"Could it be that there are people on the left and right, deliberately silting up the rest of the audio-visual......
"I actually have to go through the internal reports of the enemies of the northern kingdom to confirm it......"
Of course, when the will from the superior is regarded as a kind of spur force, fully implemented and exerted, some of the daily accumulation of clues and artificially disguised details are missing, in the process of clearing off various responsibilities, are naturally magnified and presented.
"The secretary and supervisor proposed to remove Cai Hou from the governor's political affairs, and the title of Zuo Tongzheng was reassigned to the imperial servant, and the palace was inspected."
Half a day later, the prison state had made a new decision
"In addition, I sent someone to sue Zheng Erguan and continued to think about it behind closed doors in Yixingfang...... Don't bother talking to the person next to you......"
His Royal Highness personally moved again when they heard this, and although they tried to suppress their expressions and strange appearances, they couldn't help but make eye contact, trying to digest the impact and impact of this news.
Could it be that as a hot banner and representative figure under the prison country, Cai Hou is about to fall out of favor because of this, this news means a crisis and factional disputes for some people; But for others, it shows a certain opportunity and prospect, after all, the power gap around the prison always needs to be filled.
Therefore, they all think about how to send this amazing news through their respective channels in the fastest possible time. Ignoring the prison state in the upper seat, there was a hint of ridicule hidden in his eyes.
"Where are the four sea guards ......?"
After the left and right dispersed, the prison man asked again.
“。”
An inconspicuous squire, coming out of the shadows, bowed down to receive the order
"I want the most intuitive first-hand details in the front army......"
The prison country is straightforward
"It's not something that has been polished and retouched by those people in the Southeast Lu Shuaisi, understand?"
"Respect the ......"
He got up and left.
Jian Guo sat alone and thought for a while, and then sighed slightly, feeling a little lonely.
But there are many people in the country who feel that there are many people, and those who gather and follow him seem to be many, but there are very few people who are experienced and suitable.
Most of them are not similar and different in their minds and positions, and they need to be reconciled in order to be of great use. Otherwise, there is a lack of talent and pattern, and it can only be used as eyes and ears, eagle dogs, and minions, and lack of comprehensive qualifications to take charge of one's own or take on great responsibilities.
